  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Does an excellent job of separating the artist from his label boss

  2. 8.0 |   BBC

    It’s clear that Yelawolf’s star is sure to shine for the foreseeable

  3. 7.2 |   Paste Magazine

    The sky’s the limit for a motormouthed Alabama freak, possibly even on the pop charts

  4. 7.0 |   Spin

    Much has been made of Yelawolf's Southern rock fandom, but Radioactive is more an ode to the Southern hip-hop movement that started to seep across the world a decade ago

  12. 4.2 |   A.V. Club

    For an uncomfortable seven-song stretch, the rapper seems so alienated from his own album that it’s almost a relief when he’s freed to get rambunctious again on the thrashing, trailer-park manifesto “Slumerican Shitizen.” Almost

  13. 4.0 |   The Independent

    It seems such a huge effort being expended to achieve so little

  14. 4.0 |   PopMatters
